Descent Into Necropolis
03:43

Living breath
desecrates the crypt
the nitrous awake
strangled by noxious fumes
Engulfed by the stench of dead
denizens exhumed
Welcome to madness
horrors unnameable
surrounded by the dead eyes
stares from behind the cerecloth
Unending procession
of malignant death
unending procession
beneath the broken slab
Taken by the crypt
never escape
or breath again
without the taste of decay
In this shifting labyrinth
wither away
one of many
one with the tomb
Descend into necropolis

Exhumed for Consumption
03:18
|

Sardonic intent given form
daemon chants sung to wake the dead
abominations from the grave
Bound in horror
summoned by archaic strains
wretched incantations pulse from the altar
Still greater horrors lay in wait to be called down
by blaspheming rituals
unnamable wraiths of unnatural forms
descend from gulfs beyond the stars
Ravenous, they consume the dead
sacrifices drawn to gaping mouths
and reality fractures forth
Fall into madness
the peace of death is
a lost shadow
of bitter memory

Open the earth
raise up an epitaph
so your loss
has the meaning ascribed
Lay him in a box
obscured in shroud
lower the coffin
interred in sacred ground
Dissolve
in foetor
dissolve
leave life behind
Black veiled mourners gather
around the fresh dug grave
hymns and prayers offered
in ritual of ascension
Open up the holy texts
benediction for the dead
recite the words of scripture
throw dirt onto the casket
Your prayers are worthless
as relics clutched
in lifeless hands
of the faithful ones
Rot away
in the earth
under crumbling rememberance
the maggots feed
Erase your existence
flesh to bone to dust
you are forgotten
and there is no heaven
Pall is drowned in the earth
sealed, forever to rest
the bereaved depart
crippled in their denial
